I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, BC. I am Canadian. I am a 2nd-generation Canadian, too. Both of my parents were born in Canada and I also have one grandfather that was born in Canada. My other three grandparents were born in Europe and the United States.

As a Canadian, I am thankful that my ancestors immigrated to Canada, and chose to call Canada their home. I have grateful to live in a multi-cultured country with friendly neighbors and allies.

I am thankful that I live in a peaceful country that provides many opportunities for learning and working. I am thankful everyday to be Canadian!
